Blackstone Academy for the Magical Arts is in the world!
I'm pleased to announce that my most recent game for Choice of Games, Blackstone Academy for the Magical Arts, is live in the world!
Blackstone Academy is the first story that has made it into the world from the setting of Thimbleport, Connecticut, which I've been working on for something like a decade. (It's the same setting where the Liminals work, and they're a major faction in the game.) The school itself first appeared in a dream I had about a magic school with competitive flying sailboat races. You can clearly see that made it into the game! I wrapped in a lot of local landmarks from my area of Connecticut: Sleeping Giant State Park plays a major role in one chapter (along with the legends about that giant himself), and the library building featured in the background of the cover is based on James Blackstone Memorial Library, my favorite local library!
I hope you'll go give the game a look: there's a great trailer that the folks at Choice of Games put together, and there are sample chapters available so you can try it out! I hope you get hooked!
